All in all, this place has everything you need and more no matter what your goals are. Staff here is amazing, and I want to give a special shoutout to Reggie for being my coach over these past 4 months, as I have seen strength gains like no other under his guidance and feedback. Definitely the gym to be at in the NOVA area, with great people to match.

Tysons Playground has everything you need equipment-wise, and the barbells and machines are in good condition. However, this gym is NOT "ultra clean", as they market it to be. The gym could really benefit from having a daily professional cleaning service, because right now cleaning seems to be done by the front desk staff and on an ad-hoc basis. The turf is always very dirty, there are dust bunnies all around the machines, platforms, dumbbell racks, and walls. If you have to lay on the floor for anything, make sure you use a mat. Honestly, I'm concerned about the hygiene and the dirt is very unpleasant to look at. Tyson's could attract more members if their facility was a lot cleaner.

This gym is unparalleled. The equipment is clean, modern, and top-of-the-line. They have competition level equipment for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, Strongman, bodybuilding, and physical therapy. Customer service is incredible, I think I sent an email once and got a response fixing the issue in 90 seconds. Unreal.There's easy parking, knowledgable trainers, and friendly staff who ask you how are you doing and love their jobs. This gym is the best for anyone who needs a serious place to train and for people who want to get into fitness.Oh and the music is always good. Love this place.

My first impression of this facility was bad attitude. I walked up to the front desk to ask for membership. The guy was on the phone, and instead of excusing himself, he put his hand up to shoo me away. Way to treat your customers and promote your gym! The facility itself has all the equipment you could need. However, there is no locker room, no windows for natural light, and they have this stupid policy that they adopted during Covid where you can't bring your gym bag into the workout area. Instead you grab all of your stuff and put it in a crate like you're in elementary school again. On the positive, it's open 24 hours. But you have to get a stupid app to gain access which to me was a little complicated. Overall, it does the job.

Great gym with very high quality equipment and rarely crowded. Expensive but you get what you pay for. Would be 5 stars if they didn't play terrible music 24hrs a day. Even when the gym is unattended they blast garbage and everyone just wears noise canceling headphones to drown it out.

Clean and organized gym. Friendly members. Small but it has everything you need for powerlifting. Only cons would be price point and one stall in the men’s restroom but it’s not a big deal. I would recommend this gym to others.

I have been coming to Tysons Playground for four years now, and I have no intention of looking for a new gym. Wherever you are in your fitness journey, if you are serious about getting stronger and more fit, Tysons Playground is an outstanding choice. They have great trainers, they are always working to improve the facilities/equipment, and they really care about their members. It's a safe, clean, friendly environment. Oh, and lest I forget: they have plenty of barbells and squat racks, which makes it great for powerlifters and others who know that the barbell is the best implement ever designed for building strength. I only wish they were located closer to my house.

Inconsiderate and not very knowledgeable staff.*In response to the buisness' response*I'm sorry, but the response clearly shows a lack of understanding of what we were looking for. We were looking to lift on a weightlifting bar (with a specific kind of knurling and bearings on the sleeves), not once did we say that we needed a specific brand of equipment. Moreover, I don't appreciate the passive aggressiveness of your Ray Williams anecdote, not least because it's entirely irrelevant. Ray Williams is a powerlifter and has nothing to do with the sport of weightlifting. The fact that he lifted on an Ohio power bar means nothing. An Ohio power bar has bushings on the sleeves (doesn't spin smoothly) and an incredibly rough knurling that would tear up a weightlifter's skin were they to use it. Our problem was with the fact that the representative at the front desk wasn't listening to us (clearly), and that your website mentions nothing of guests being denied access to all Olympic weightlifting (again, nothing to do with powerlifting or Ray Williams) equipment.

Visiting home from school I was super excited get a week trial pass to visit this gym after seeing all of the pictures of the nice gym and its equipment (calibrated plates, competition racks and benches). Online it was stated as $25 dollars for a week trial pass. Upon visiting the gym for the first time, I was told that was no longer the case. Which honestly I was disappointed by, but was something understandable with covid and whatever other business circumstances they might be dealing with. What I didn't understand was the attitude of the guy at the front who was rude to us for absolutely no reason, completely unprovoked. I'm sure the facility is very nice and I wish I could have trained there, but this experience left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Everything about this place is top tier, elite status from the the cleanliness to the customer service. If you’re serious about lifting, this place is heaven. They have the best brand new equipment. It made me excited about going to the gym and I don’t want to leave once I get there. After I signed up the owner emailed me a personalized video welcoming me. Best of the best.

Absolutely amazing gym experience. Visited as I was in the area to see family, and was not disappointed after giving the place a try. The sufficiently loud music drowned out other lifters, there was more than enough olympic lifting platforms, and the people were great to be around.
